PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The student needs professional learning for increasing interest as an essential way to support the increasingly complex skills students need to learn to succeed in the 21st century. Sophisticated forms of teaching are needed to develop student competencies such as profound mastery of challenging content, critical thinking, complex problem solving, effective communication and collaboration, and self-direction. In turn, effective professional development (PD) is needed to help the student learn and refine the instructional strategies required to teach these skills.
